How it's used
This term carries a distinctly objectifying tone and is considered quite crude or disrespectful. It focuses purely on the act of pursuing women for short term romantic or sexual interest, rather than building a genuine relationship. Using this in front of women or in polite company will likely cause offense.
Examples
He is always going to Lan Kwai Fong to pick up girls.

Common phrases
a pro at picking up girls
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with general terms for dating like 拍拖. 𠝹女 specifically implies a predatory or casual approach to chasing women and is never used to describe a healthy, committed relationship.
